Home›Structural and Tectonic Formations›Mountain Ranges and Peaks›All Mountain Ranges and PeaksBrowse ByAll Mountain Ranges and PeaksThis group collects the Structural and Tectonic Formations subcategory's members that are named mountain ranges, massifs and individual peaks built by tectonic uplift and mountain-building episodes, from the Himalaya and Karakoram to the Alps, Andes, Rockies and many smaller named ranges worldwide. These features are the most visible and numerous surface expression of tectonic activity in this subcategory, formed by processes from continental collision to volcanic and structural uplift, which is why they remain the largest single group even after cratons, faults, rifts, domes and other structural feature types are split out on their own.FactsAll Mountain Ranges and PeaksSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining ProcessWell-attestedA series of mountains connected by high ground, formed mostly by plate tectonics. 1All Mountain Ranges and PeaksFilter Results64 entriesFormation FamilyAllGranite Peaks and Spires (1)Mountain Ranges and Peaks (64)Formation TypeAllGranite Peaks and Spires (1)Mountain Ranges and Peaks (64)WhereAllAfghanistan (1)Algeria (1)Andorra (1)Antarctica (3)Australia (1)Austria (1)Bolivia (1)Chile (1)China (10)Colombia (2)Costa Rica (1)Czechia (1)Eritrea (1)Ethiopia (1)Finland (1)France (2)Georgia (1)Greenland (1)Hungary (1)India (2)Iran (1)Iraq (1)Italy (1)Kazakhstan (3)Kenya (1)Kyrgyzstan (2)Mongolia (1)Morocco (1)Norway (2)Pakistan (20)Peru (2)Philippines (3)Poland (2)Romania (1)Russia (3)Scotland (1)Serbia (1)Slovakia (1)South Africa (1)Spain (1)Svalbard (1)Sweden (1)Switzerland (2)Tajikistan (1)Tunisia (1)Turkey (1)Uganda (1)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (7)Venezuela (2)Formed By (Process)AllErosion (4)Faulting (2)Orogeny (53)Plate Tectonics (1)Sedimentation (1)Geological AgeAllPermian (1)Rock TypeAllGneiss (1)Limestone (1)Protected StatusAllInternational Treaty Protected Area (3)IUGS Geological Heritage Site (2)Locally or Regionally Protected (3)National Park or Reserve (15)Natura 2000 Site (1)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (1)UNESCO Global Geopark (1)UNESCO World Heritage Site (6)Visitor AccessAllOpen (1)DisciplineAllGeomorphology (62)Structural Geology (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 14Shackleton RangeStructural and Tectonic FormationsSierra Nevada de Santa MartaStructural and Tectonic FormationsSierra Nevada del CocuyStructural and Tectonic FormationsSkil BrumStructural and Tectonic FormationsTransantarctic MountainsStructural and Tectonic FormationsTrans-Karakoram TractStructural and Tectonic FormationsTrivorStructural and Tectonic FormationsTrollveggenInselbergs and Crystalline MonolithsUltar SarStructural and Tectonic FormationsUndersea mountain rangeStructural and Tectonic FormationsUral MountainsStructural and Tectonic FormationsVinson MassifStructural and Tectonic FormationsYerupajaStructural and Tectonic FormationsZagros MountainsStructural and Tectonic Formations← Previous12Sources1.
